A word about Dan Brown and the Louvre....

I have never seen anything like it before... at the Louvre the only work of fiction that they sell is Dan Brown's book, The Da Vinci code. Out of the thousands of fiction works that have been published about the Louvre, this is the one that is sweeping the world. You can take a tour of the works that were mentionned in the book. There are tours of the city based on Dan Brown's book... heck, even in Chapters there was a guide book you could buy so you could follow in the foot steps of the Da Vinci code. You can even stay in the room in the hotel in Paris that was metionned, and you'll get a special phone call in the middle of the night. All this craziness over the novel. Dan Brown is either a very smart man, and is getting lots of noteriety from this book, or he has a very good agent that is willing to go the extra mile. I couldn't help but to wonder if Dan Brown was getting any commissions every time someone took the The Da Vinci Code tour at the Louvre.

Now, I must admit that I read the book 2 years ago and loved it. What a thrilling story and adventure he takes on. However, what you decide to believe is entirely up to you.
